3 TIME: 20 minutes 21. март године MAX. 8 points/ MIN. 6 points READING COMPREHENSION TEST Super Stan! Stan Lieberman was born in New York in He joined the family publishing business, Timely Publications, in Stan had a fantastic imagination and for the next twenty years, Stan wrote thousands of entertaining crime, science fiction and western stories for Timely. Characters were either good or bad and stories rarely used words with more than two syllables. In fact, Stan was so embarrassed by what he was writing that he used the name Stan Lee in the comics. By 40, Stan had decided he was too old to write comics. His wife suggested writing stories about the things he preferred. And then a rival comic came up with a group of superheroes which included Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Stan took his wife s advice and in 1961 he created The Fantastic Four with the cartoonist Jack Kirby. Until that time, superheroes had been perfect people. And for Stan, their adventures were predictable because nobody could hurt them. The Fantastic Four were different. The group had the same problems we all have. Two characters were engaged and they often fell out, for example. Another character was always depressed. The Fantastic Four were a huge success and Stan s creativity was back. A year later Stan and cartoonist Steve Ditko published their first story about a young boy who was bitten by a spider. Peter Parker (or Spider-Man) is a typical, confused teenager with girlfriend, school and money problems. The character was immediately successful. A copy of the first Spider- Man comic in good condition now costs about $30,000.
